I interviewed my dad on his 77th birthday. If there's one thing I remember the most about my Dad, it was talking to him and listening to him. He thought things. Silly things. Deep things. He saw things and thought about what he saw. 

I don't know if we ever had a conversation quite like this one - I felt a bit like Karl Reiner with the 2000 Year Old Man: just keep lobbing the balls up there - but we loved to goof around and once Dad caught on, he was all-in. 

I love you Daddy. You made me and you changed me and  I hope I can be something like you to my kids.
